1. Today, 28 million plus shares traded, PCS down about 12%, could be that "someone" believes PCS is a crucial stage in it's development. I have a hard time arguing with such a large increase in trading volume on a large down day, at least right now for today;

2. Key to PCS's growth, is the new market launches in 2008-09 in L.V., Philly, Boston and N.Y. Q4-2009 earnings in February are going to begin to tell the tale if PCS is gaining traction in these new markets. Q1-2010 earnings in May 2010 will also be huge. And in this sense, by late May 2010, PCS will be near it's close today at $6.35 or over $10 a share based on how this plays out.

3. PCS also needs a resurgence in it's core markets, reduce churn rate and hold, or better, average revenue per user (ARPU). This, at least in part, is behind the new pricing plan. Linquist knows what he is doing and has been ahead of the curve in most instances.

4. I really do not fully understand the ramifications of PCS moving forward to G4 LTE in 2010 and beyond. But from what I have read, this could actually be the key to PCS moving forward to reduce it's costs while providing a marketable product and holding on to ARPU. But this looks like 2011, at best.
